介绍（中）	这四幅印度神的水彩画是下孟加拉邦卷轴画家种姓（patua）的世袭艺术家的产物，他们在19世纪被吸引到加尔各答胡格利河附近的卡利加特卡利神庙附近。卡利加特神庙是印度供奉卡利的四座最神圣的神庙之一。这座寺庙于1809年以现在的形式重建，在19世纪成为主要的朝圣中心。每个朝圣者都希望购买一件"神圣的纪念品"，让他们能够带回家一些与最高女神一起带走达尔善（视觉/视觉）的神圣之物。这些艺术家的许多后代今天继续在同一个社区实践他们的艺术，满足参观寺庙的朝圣者的虔诚需求。在19世纪，这些朝圣者的画作售价仅为卢比的一小部分（半安娜或安娜），使它们普遍价格合理。
介绍（英）	These four robustly painted watercolors of Hindu deities are the product of hereditary artists of the scroll painters caste (patua) in lower Bengal, who gravitated in the course of the 19th century to the neighborhood of the Kali temple at Kalighat, near the Hooghly River, in Calcutta (mod. Kolkata). The Kalighat temple is one of the four most sacred temples in India dedicated to Kali. The temple, rebuilt in its present form in 1809, became a major pilgrimage center in the 19th century. Each pilgrim looked to purchase a "sacred souvenir" that allowed them to carry home something of the sanctity of having taken darshan (sight/vision) with the supreme goddess. Many of the descendants of these artists continue to practice their art in the same neighborhood today, serving the devotional needs of pilgrims who visit the temple. In the 19th century these pilgrim paintings sold for a fraction of a rupee (half-anna or anna), making them universally affordable.
